I'm askin'
If you're Nebraskan
Can I join your navy?
Would you nominate me?
I want to be a Nebraska Admiral
Nebraska Admiral
An honorary title
Performing duties vital
There is no money in it
But I'd really like to win it

Nearly all her films are lost
No one knows her name
Theda Bara's got a star
On the walk of fame
Theda
Bara
Every room inside her house
Filled with useless clocks
Some are early, some are late
Most of them have stopped

On a Friday in '42
Fifteen soldiers, your Mum and you
Lost on the toss of a coin
Mother wanted to take the train
You couldn't wait to get home again
Lost on the toss of a coin
Douglas Sleeper to Los Angeles
Beacons turned out for the Japanese
Douglas Sleeper refuelling late
Mountain pass in Nevada state
Lost on the toss of a coin
[On a Friday in '42]
Fifteen soldiers, your Mum and you
Lost on the toss of a coin
Nothing's sacred, nothing is for keeps
Douglas Sleeper to your final sleep
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep

Buffering

You're waking up when half my day is gone
Until I hear from you I just feel wrong
And I'm suffering when we're buffering
You're getting home when I should be asleep
I'm getting jealous and I feel a creep
And I'm suffering when we're buffering
Long distance
Time difference
You love me but I love you more
You've got a husband and a girlfriend too
I'm not alone but all I want is you
So I'm suffering when we're buffering
I needed something that you couldn't give
I waited so long I forgot to live
I'm just buffering...
Long distance
Time difference
I love you but I have to go
You gave me silence when I told you so
Did I break your heart? I'll never know
Were you suffering?
Seems for two months I have slumbered here
While these visions of you did appear
I was suffering when we were buffering
Long distance
Time difference
I love you but I let you go

New Thing
04:09

I've opened every window
I spied around each door
I sat at every table
And rifled every drawer
I've taken up the floorboards
In every corridor
There is nothing I feel
I haven't felt before
But it's a new thing
Beaten black and blue, thing
Don't know what to do, thing
And it looks like you
I thought I knew this building
I thought I knew this street
Thought I knew the shoes
And I thought I knew the feet
I wanna be your victim
I wanna be taboo
[You could be] my servant
And tell me what to do
'Cause it's a new thing
Beaten black and blue thing
Don't know what to do thing
And it looks like you
It's a weird thing
[Positively] queer thing
Crawling in my ear thing
And it looks like you

What was it like away from your home for months?
I understand you did all of your own stunts
And you got to work with Anjelica Huston...
What do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?
You're living in your own private Idaho
What's on the inside? You don't let the public know
You've made enough money to live on for centuries
But what do you think happens when we die, Keanu Reeves?
I know the ones we love will miss us
I know the ones we love will miss us
I know the ones we love will miss us
I know the ones we love will miss us
